Obtaining parts of the sludge monster is certainly difficult.
Stone, who has fought side by side with mud monsters, knows very well that these monsters look like mud everywhere, but in fact, every mud spot on them is a complete individual, and they will never move while leaving behind.
There are no traces of it, not to mention that the person in this mansion may no longer be the original sludge monster.
The sludge monsters Lu Jian saw at Nanhua Private Renji Hospital, in the wasteland, and in the abandoned capital were obviously not the same kind, and there was a continuously improving relationship between them.
For example, the wasteland was originally a native species, directly derived from the original clan of the old rulers. However, after being transformed and integrated by humans, it developed powerful mimicry abilities, and was even able to disguise itself as a human being and transform into a swarm of insects.
Nan Hua Private Renji Hospital has evolved the ability to create a certain type of alien space, through which it can hunt humans and seize souls.
As for those in the [Flower of Glass] mission, they have been able to communicate and cooperate with humans to a certain extent and become human tools.
These types of sludge monsters may be related to evolutionary selection in different directions, and Lu Jian doesn't know who appeared first.
The one in this Rainstorm Villa is obviously a heavyweight, at least related to Taoist Heming. According to Lu Tiao's knowledge, Taoist Heming has also seen another old ruler who suffered severe pollution.
, the sludge monsters created or summoned by him are probably far beyond the previous level.
"It's difficult for us to use part of this silt to find it, but there's something else."
Stone said.
"Gothe's corpse."
"...You mean, his internal organs?"
Shia was stunned.
"Yes, Gothe is dead and his internal organs are missing. There must be a place to go. If the sludge monster swallowed him, then by tracking Gothe, we can locate the location of his internal organs.
.”
Stone said, even if the internal organs have been fused and assimilated by the sludge monster, they are still Gothe's internal organs. Since the silt monster is watertight, we can only start with this poor deceased.
Thinking of this, the three people immediately came to Gaode's room.
The corpse did not disappear. It was still lying on the bed in that miserable posture. Since a whole night had passed, it was windy and rainy outside, and the environment was humid, Gothe's corpse had begun to decay, exuding a strong rotten smell besides the smell of blood.
The smell is like salted fish that has been left on the chopping board and forgotten for several days. If you smell it once, you will immediately vomit it.
Even in the corridor, the smell has spread.
Stone frowned slightly, took out a mask and gloves from his coat pocket, put them on, and came to the body.
Immediately, the booklet materialized in Stone's hand. At the same time, his gloved right hand reached out towards Gothe's body and grabbed a ball of carrion.
"So disgusting."
Lu Tiao commented.
"Don't talk too much."
Stone glanced at Lu Jian. Most of the rotten flesh in his hand had rotted and turned into a semi-solid paste. The sight of it sticking to his hand was extremely disgusting. In Lu Jian's world, once these things were touched, it would be normal.
It is estimated that people need to take showers for three days and three nights, but it may not be able to eliminate the psychological effects.
But at the same time, a few lines of text and simple drawings appeared in the notebook in Stone's hand.
Stone soon discovered that this was the structural diagram of Storm Mountain Villa, and the place indicated by the structural diagram was the underground wine cellar.
In the wine cellar, Gothe's internal organs are placed.
As for the state of the internal organs, it's hard to say.
The three people looked at each other.
It was still early in the morning, and there were still several days before the Soul Conjuring Night, so they had enough time to conduct investigations.
Stone first found the old housekeeper, expressed his willingness to investigate the Storm Mountain Villa, and asked for the key to the underground wine cellar.
Gu Qi
The underground wine cellar is located downstairs. Every manor will have such a wine cellar. In some cases, the wine stored in these wine cellars itself is part of the value of the manor. Some wealthy people will go out of their way to buy the wine in the cellar.
He bought the entire villa for his valuable wine collection.
As for Rainstorm Villa, there is obviously no such statement.
The wine cellar here is unremarkable, even crude. The further you go down, the more humid it becomes, and you can clearly see the moss and peeling wall skin at the corners.
The further you go down, the more fishy the smell becomes, as if it were a building lifted from the sea. It seems that the place is soaked in sea water, and even the air becomes humid.
Lu Jian didn't believe that fine wine could be stored in such an environment.
It's good if it doesn't get moldy.
However, in the Middle Ages of the earth, wine was indeed widely consumed by the rich and nobles to prevent water from spoiling. However, the wine at that time was more like fruit juice mixed with water, which was bland and tasteless. Therefore, this cellar
There might actually be some good wine in there.
Arriving at the door of the underground wine cellar, Lu Tan could only smell the salty and wet smell of the sea that could not be dissipated. There was no smell of blood or rancidity.
Use the key to open the old and heavy wooden door. In front of the three people is a wine cellar full of oak barrels.
The air here is even better than outside, with a faint smell of oak and dust.
Mr. Browning probably doesn't like drinking very much.
Lu Tan knocked on one of the barrels of wine with his hand, and received a dull echo.
It's so packed inside that you can't help but want to open it and taste what's inside.
The three of them briefly scanned the wine cellar. Obviously, there was no sign of Gothe's internal organs or the sludge monster.
Stone opened the illusory notebook in his hand.
His eyes passed over the barrels, and finally his eyes fell on an oak barrel in the middle of the shelf.
Taking out the revolver, Stone gestured to the oak barrel with his eyes.
Shia directly raised her hand, ready to release magic at any time.
Lu Tan took out the [Last Words]. If the other party dared to resist, he would decisively give the other party an ode to the old rulers and make it more authentic.
"I'll do it."
Shia said, as she was the most powerful among the three, she walked at the front.
The oak barrel looked ordinary, no different from other wine barrels.
Shia first used a detection technique, but the feedback she received was not obvious.
Walking carefully to the wine barrel, Shia put her hand directly in front of the wine barrel, and the air twisted in her palm.
[Mystra’s Void Explosion Technique]
A spell with astonishing destructive power suddenly hit the oak barrel.
Before Stone could react, the wine barrel exploded.
But there was no wine splashing. Stone saw a person curled up in the barrel.
This man looked about thirty years old, thin, with high cheekbones, and withered yellow hair. He seemed to have been forcefully stuffed into a wine barrel, and he jumped out because of the explosion of the barrel.
When he saw Lu Tan and others, he immediately raised his hands and made a show of surrender.
"Don't kill me. I came here by invitation. My name is Byron."
